Hi Rich,
Thanks for your useful information. What is exact meaning of PE provision? For non-provision of PE, are no class 1 products sold to that country? Regards, Scott From: Richard Nute [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of 'Rich Nute' Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:30 AM To: 'Scott Xe'; 'IEEE EMC & SAFETY PSTC' Subject: RE: Normal power supply in the kitchen of Sweden & Norway Hi Scott: I am seeking the information on the normal power supply for electric cooker in the kitchen of Sweden & Norway. It says the power supply varies in 1-ph 230 Vac or 3-ph 400 Vac in 3 wire or 4 wire system at 30A or above. What is the main reason to have different type of power supply instead of unique one in one country? Your advice is appreciated. In Norway, no PE is provided in house wiring. However, very recently, PE is provided in new construction. In Sweden, the PE is provided. In most of Europe, the service to a residence is 3-phase Y, 400 V, 50 Hz. Each phase of the 3-phase is distributed within the house as single-phase (230 V, 16 A) to appliances and socket-outlets. Where higher power is required, 3-phase is distributed to that appliance.
